Translated into ASL by David Bar-Tzur

Refrain: ALWAYS HOPE HAVE BREAD. ALWAYS HOPE HAVE JOY.
FOR (2h)#ALL PEOPLE SHARE WITH THANKS TO YOU-rt.
THAT OUR PRAYER SHOULD, AND EACH CHILD HERE EARTH
STRIVE-FOR FREEDOM SPREAD EVERY COUNTRY FROM-NOW-ON FOREVER.

Refrain: That there may be bread, that there may be
joy for all humanity to share with gratitude:
let this be our prayer, and may each child of earth
long for a freedom that will flourish in all lands.

1. Simple is the truth that our love cannot be real
unless we choose to bless each other as blessing we have known.

2. Still, the long night falls and yet for some, deep hunger cries
as their tears become their bread: their hope too soon may die.

3. Lord, what should I do to have eternal life?
Love the God who lives within you and your neighbor as yourself.

4. Lord, who is my neighbor? The one whose struggle
and whose needs you overlook, while your own comfort you secure.

5. Grateful for our life, can we be free to thirst and work
for the planting and the harvest of Kingdom's life in all?

6. At this table of thanksgiving we are fed
with the life of Jesus Risen, in whom our hope is born.

7. Sign of God's deep love is this banquet of new life:
know the presence of the Holy, in spirit and in truth.
